More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
If there ever was a vision for success, it was the John Cooper brainchild - take an ordinary Mini with its shoe-box size and shape, its exaggerated roadholding and steering, and its already apparent popularity, and make it go faster. This is a strong, detailed development story of that famous, lovable roller-skate, the Mini Cooper. Included are contemporary, nostalgic anecdotes and a mass of interesting photographs, some specially shot in color, to pay tribute to that extrovert of extrovert Minis.

Jeremy Walton is a well known British journalist who as a school boy visited an Austin showroom to see the first Mini in 1959. Hugely experienced in the field he has authored many books on Ford, BMW, and the iconic Mini. He lives in Soberton, Hampshire, England.

Skip this one if you can
14 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
If you are a vivid fan of the original Austin and Morris Mini's, skip this book because there are only brief descriptions and specs about these car in the book. This book is basically a childhood memory for the author who wrote it. The pictures are black and white. There's only a brief description on the Innocenti and Authi Mini's and only 2 pictures of them. Books to get: Original Mini Cooper and Cooper S by Motorbooks and Chris Rees guide to Mini's.
